Mohawk Thursday, 3/14/24

[Doctor Plopenstein]

What's not to like (except for the horses tonight kind of blah), but, at least their pools are always healthy.  2 picks each race, no scratch substitutions, and all tris are ALLS in 3rd teir.

Race 1.  6 & 7, young goofy trotters

Race 2. 5 & 7, more young goofy trotters.  #7 Mercutio backers might see the #1 take lots of play and puke and get a price on him.  #7 should be BEST BET.

Race 3.  What a coincidence, more, young goofy trotters.  1 & 3.

Race 4.  If you survived thus far, a claiming race, 5 & 7.  Speed in every direction might benefit these 2 typically under-performing but very capable long shots.  5 & 7 LONG SHOTS BEST BETS. 

Race 5. Wow, back to young goofy trotters, 3 & 7.

Race 6.  Bottom of the barrel claimers, yet these 2 outclass the others and are due, 7 & 9.  If the 3 Shovanna sticks it up my ass for omitting, I'll just have to accept that.

Race 7.  More young trotters.  2 & 6.  #2 Mactacular might find 3rd gear this time and best his back to back life time by another 2 seconds. 

Race 8.  2 & 5.  An opportunity for payout this race, see some behind the scenes decisions here for Roy and Sorrie to land where they did.

Race 9.  3 & 8.  This Bryon horse #8 likes Byron in the sulky why not.

Race 10.  6 & 8.  #6 looks like a capable, dangerous WF shipper who will hopefully love the sleek course here, #8 why not, French Connection. 

Will W and even P on most that are not favorites, long shots, all ex, tri, dd, p3, p4 and p5.  All minimum best though, figuring a $135.20 investment - sending it.

On to the 3/15/24 Mohawk card now.

When I handicapped this card Tuesday night it was 30-40% chance of rain and nothing significant in total rainfall if it did.

Looks like it's a continuous down pour with about an 1" or so, a sloppy mess expected.

I ain't cancelling my wagers but I ain't crying if they cancel the card.

James Macdonald should get 4 or 5 wins

Good luck gentlemen 

I'll wait til you put your Mohawk thread up next time I was just anxious to talk horses.

Hope you did well, not so great here but it's really funny as it was one of my best showings for a losing night, go figure, I should of been betting superfectas and I bet none.

I finished as follows from the 1st to 10th - 1st and 2nd, 1st and 3rd, 2nd and 3rd, 3rd and 4th, 1st and 4th, 1st and 4th, 1st and 4th, 5th and 6th, 1st and 5th, scr and 3rd.

6 weiners, @$50 consolation prize of winnings offsetting the loses.
